Lo Niego Todo Lyrics in English Joaquín Sabina

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lo Niego Todo by Joaquín Sabina from Spanish to English.
Not an angel with black wings
Not a prophet of vice
Not a hero on the barricades
Not squatter, not scab
Not king of the suburbs
Not flower of the cliff
Not an orchestra singer
Not the Spanish Dylan
Not the undersigned
Not a huckster
Not a street minstrel
Not a parlor red
I don't hide passion
I don't perfume it
I haven't burned my ships
I don't know how to apologize
I deny it all
That dust and this mud
I deny it all
Even the truth
The legend of the suicide
And that of the stray bullet
The one about the drunken saint
If you tell me my life
I deny it all
The Treasury shark
Asset confiscator
Has shut my shop
Has stolen April from me
If it's to hurt me
I know what's good for me
I've cheated everyone
Starting with me
I'm not an open book
I'm not who you imagine
I cry at the corniest
Romance movies
They threw me out of the bars
That I used as an office
And a Latin Venus
Gave me last rites
I deny it all
That dust and this mud
I deny it all
Even the truth
The legend of the suicide
And that of the stray bullet
The one about the golden saint
If you tell me my life
I deny it all
I deny it all
That dust and this mud
I deny it all
Even the truth
The legend of the suicide
And that of the stray bullet
The one about the golden saint
If you tell me my life
I deny it all

SONG MEANING

Joaquín Sabina invites us on a cheeky ride through his own myth-busting manifesto. Lo Niego Todo is the Spanish songwriter’s way of standing on stage with a giant eraser, wiping out every label the press, fans, or gossip have stuck to him: angel or devil, rebel or sell-out, hero of the streets or Dylan in Spanish. Each line is a playful “Nope, not me” that turns rumour into punchline while hinting at the messy, loveable human hiding behind the headlines.

Beneath the wit you will catch a softer confession. Sabina admits to tears at cheesy movies, tax problems, and disappointments he caused “starting with myself.” By denying everything, he actually shows everything: his irony, vulnerability, and refusal to be boxed in. The result feels like sharing a late-night drink with a friend who laughs at his own myths before they can weigh him down.
